​You regular readers of J'adore le Décor know that I jump at any opportunity to help you create chic, sophisticated, boutique-like living spaces. Strong quality, and attention to the details result in a home that is totally YOU. ​

We dedicate so much time to creating beautiful dwelling places. Shouldn't our personal style be an extension - a reflection - of how we live? I believe it should. Of course, the trick is to make it look effortless. JORD timepieces make this possible. ​

JORD blends high quality Swiss movements with luxurious modern aesthetics. So when JORD selected me to feature one of their timepieces, I was excited over the opportunity. I chose to feature the Frankie 35 Zebra-wood Navy women's watch, which arrived beautifully packaged. The watch itself is strikingly handsome. To take a closer look at it click here.

After taking a few moments to admire this unique and cool watch, I suddenly realized how perfectly it matched the boho, traditional style of my home. I even have a zebra wood veneered wine cabinet! Not only that, but just like my home, the watch is fitting for a man or a woman. Don't you just love it when you're unexpectedly consistent when choosing the things you like?

The wood grain on this one-of-a-kind timepiece is clearly of the highest quality, which made me curious about its origin. After viewing the JORD website I learned that zebra-wood is generally harvested from West Africa (Congo).

If you've read my About Page you know that I participate in volunteer efforts toward French-speaking transplants to the Chicago metropolitan area. These efforts often include residents of West Africa. Having said that, I became concerned about promoting a product that might contribute in some way to the harm of my friends or their families. So I contacted JORDWood Watches with a tough list of questions.

​To my great pleasure and relief, I learned that:​

JORD timepieces are recycled mainly from furniture remnants, sourced from furniture warehouses all over the world.

No forests - in any place in the world - are harmed in the production of these watches.

Only damaged trees, or those brought down by natural causes may be used as sources for production.

Each timepiece comes with a 12-month warranty.

While the movements are constructed in Switzerland and Japan, all components are handcrafted, assembled and produced in St. Louis, Missouri USA.

Shipping within the U.S. is free, and $20 internationally.

New designs are added every few months, so their look always stays fresh.

I am absolutely fascinated with this watch, and am thrilled to be able to present a brand to you that embodies the principles that I often discuss on this home decor blog: strong quality, smart re-purposing, and high-end finishing.

Right now thru December 16th you can enter to receive an exclusive $25 gift card from JORD. They are available on a first come, first serve basis. Click here, or on the image below to take advantage of this very rare opportunity.

They're absolutely gorgeous, and remarkably light-weight. I probably should also mention that the face is scratch-resistant. This is perfect for those of us who love to wear bangles with our watches. Thanks for visiting Sheri!

Jord is such a great brand when it comes to watches and they stand out among the crowd for amazing quality anytime. The Frankie 35 Zebra-wood watch looks gorgeous in your hand and it is great to know that they use only damaged trees which is amazing!

Thanks Lisa for the compliment. I guess I should mention that there are quite a number of copy cats out there. But if you want quality timing, Swiss is the way to go.
